ConcepTest 6.1Rolling in the Rain 1) speeds up 2) maintains constant speed 3) slows down 4) stops immediately An open cart rolls along a frictionless track while it is raining. As it rolls, what happens to the speed of the cart as the rain collects in it? (assume that the rain falls vertically into the box)
ConcepTest 6.1Rolling in the Rain 1) speeds up 2) maintains constant speed 3) slows down 4) stops immediately An open cart rolls along a frictionless track while it is raining. As it rolls, what happens to the speed of the cart as the rain collects in it? (assume that the rain falls vertically into the box) Since the rain falls in vertically, it adds no momentum to the box, thus the box’s momentum is conserved. However, since the mass of the box slowly increases with the added rain, its velocity has to decrease. Follow-up: What happens to the cart when it stops raining?
ConcepTest 6.2aMomentum and KE I A system of particles is known to have a total kinetic energy of zero. What can you say about the total momentum of the system? 1) momentum of the system is positive 2) momentum of the system is negative 3) momentum of the system is zero 4) you cannot say anything about the momentum of the system
ConcepTest 6.2aMomentum and KE I A system of particles is known to have a total kinetic energy of zero. What can you say about the total momentum of the system? 1) momentum of the system is positive 2) momentum of the system is positive 3) momentum of the system is zero 4) you cannot say anything about the momentum of the system Since the total kinetic energy is zero, this means that all of the particles are at rest (v = 0). Therefore, since nothing is moving, the total momentum of the system must also be zero.
ConcepTest 6.2bMomentum and KE II A system of particles is known to have a total momentum of zero. Does it necessarily follow that the total kinetic energy of the system is also zero? 1) yes 2) no
ConcepTest 6.2bMomentum and KE II A system of particles is known to have a total momentum of zero. Does it necessarily follow that the total kinetic energy of the system is also zero? 1) yes 2) no Momentum is a vector, so the fact that ptot = 0 does not mean that the particles are at rest! They could be moving such that their momenta cancel out when you add up all of the vectors. In that case, since they are moving, the particles would have non-zero KE.
ConcepTest 6.2cMomentum and KE III Two objects are known to have the same momentum. Do these two objects necessarily have the same kinetic energy? 1) yes 2) no
ConcepTest 6.2cMomentum and KE III Two objects are known to have the same momentum. Do these two objects necessarily have the same kinetic energy? 1) yes 2) no If object #1 has mass m and speed v and object #2 has mass 1/2 m and speed 2v, they will both have the same momentum. However, since KE = 1/2 mv2, we see that object #2 has twice the kinetic energy of object #1, due to the fact that the velocity is squared.
ConcepTest 6.3aMomentum and Force A net force of 200 N acts on a 100-kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130-g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s momentum compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s momentum? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) equal to
ConcepTest 6.3aMomentum and Force A net force of 200 N acts on a 100-kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130-g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s momentum compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s momentum? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) equal to The rate of change of momentum is, in fact, the force. Remember that F = Dp/Dt. Since the force exerted on the boulder and the pebble is the same, then the rate of change of momentum is the same.
ConcepTest 6.3bVelocity and Force A net force of 200 N acts on a 100-kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130-g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s velocity compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s velocity? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) equal to
ConcepTest 6.3bVelocity and Force A net force of 200 N acts on a 100 kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130-g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s velocity compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s velocity? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) equal to The rate of change of velocity is the acceleration. Remember that a = Dv/Dt. The acceleration is related to the force by Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma), so the acceleration of the boulder is less than that of the pebble (for the same applied force) because the boulder is much more massive.
ConcepTest 6.4Collision Course 1) the car 2) the truck 3) they both have the same momentum change 4) can’t tell without knowing the final velocities A small car and a large truck collide head-on and stick together. Which one has the larger momentum change?
ConcepTest 6.4Collision Course 1) the car 2) the truck 3) they both have the same momentum change 4) can’t tell without knowing the final velocities A small car and a large truck collide head-on and stick together. Which one has the larger momentum change? Since the total momentum of the system is conserved, that means that Dp = 0 for the car and truck combined. Therefore, Dpcar must be equal and opposite to that of the truck (–Dptruck) in order for the total momentum change to be zero. Note that this conclusion also follows from Newton’s 3rd Law. Follow-up: Which one feels the larger acceleration?

The same constant force F acts on each one for exactly 1 second. Which box has more momentum after the force acts ? We know: so impulse Dp = Fav Dt. In this case F and Dtare the same for both boxes ! Both boxes will have the same final momentum.

ConcepTest 6.5bTwo Boxes II In the previous question, which box has the larger velocity after the force acts? 1) the heavier one 2) the lighter one 3) both the same The force is related to the acceleration by Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma). The lighter box therefore has the greater acceleration and will reach a higher speed after the 1-second time interval. Follow-up: Which box has gone a larger distance after the force acts? Follow-up: Which box has gained more KE after the force acts?
ConcepTest 6.6Watch Out! 1) hit the other car 2) hit the wall 3) makes no difference 4) call your physics prof!! 5) get insurance! You drive around a curve in a narrow one-way street at 30 mph when you see an identical car heading straight toward you at 30 mph. You have two options: hit the car head-on or swerve into a massive concrete wall (also head-on). What should you do?
ConcepTest 6.6Watch Out! 1) hit the other car 2) hit the wall 3) makes no difference 4) call your physics prof!! 5) get insurance! You drive around a curve in a narrow one-way street at 30 mph when you see an identical car heading straight toward you at 30 mph. You have two options: hit the car head-on or swerve into a massive concrete wall (also head-on). What should you do? In both cases your momentum will decrease to zero in the collision. Given that the time Dt of the collision is the same, then the force exerted on YOU will be the same! Assuming the wall is not damaged, you will absorb the same amount of energy.If a truck is approaching at 30 mph, then you’d be better off hitting the wall in that case. On the other hand, if it’s only a mosquito, well, you’d be better off running him down...
ConcepTest 6.7Impulse A small beanbag and a bouncy rubber ball are dropped from the same height above the floor. They both have the same mass. Which one will impart the greater impulse to the floor when it hits? 1) the beanbag 2) the rubber ball 3) both the same
ConcepTest 6.7Impulse A small beanbag and a bouncy rubber ball are dropped from the same height above the floor. They both have the same mass. Which one will impart the greater impulse to the floor when it hits? 1) the beanbag 2) the rubber ball 3) both the same Both objects reach the same speed at the floor. However, while the beanbag comes to rest on the floor, the ball bounces back up with nearly the same speed as it hit. Thus, the change in momentum for the ball is greater, because of the rebound. The impulse delivered by the ball is twice that of the beanbag. For the beanbag: Dp = pf– pi = 0 – (–mv ) = mv For the rubber ball: Dp = pf– pi = mv – (–mv ) = 2mv Follow-up: Which one imparts the larger force to the floor?
ConcepTest 6.8Singing in the Rain A person stands under an umbrella during a rainstorm. Later the rain turns to hail, although the number of “drops” hitting the umbrella per time and their speed remains the same. Which case requires more force to hold the umbrella? 1) when it is hailing 2) when it is raining 3) same in both cases
ConcepTest 6.8Singing in the Rain A person stands under an umbrella during a rainstorm. Later the rain turns to hail, although the number of “drops” hitting the umbrella per time and their speed remains the same. Which case requires more force to hold the umbrella? 1) when it is hailing 2) when it is raining 3) same in both cases When the raindrops hit the umbrella, they tend to splatter and run off, whereas the hailstones hit the umbrella and bounce back upward. Thus, the change in momentum (impulse) is greater for the hail. Since Dp = FDt, more force is required in the hailstorm. This is similar to the situation with the bouncy rubber ball in the previous question.

It will take the same amount of time to stop them.

p p ConcepTest 6.9bGoing Bowling II 1) the bowling ball 2) same distance for both 3) the ping-pong ball 4) impossible to say A bowling ball and a ping-pong ball are rolling toward you with the same momentum. If you exert the same force to stop each one, for which is the stopping distance greater? Use the work-energy theorem: W = DKE. The ball with less mass has the greater speed(why?), and thus the greater KE(whyagain?). In order to remove that KE, work must be done, where W = Fd. Since the force is the same in both cases, the distance needed to stop the less massive ball must be bigger.

In which case does the golf ball have the greater speed after the collision?

In which case does the golf ball have the greater speed after the collision? Remember that themagnitude of therelative velocityhas to be equal before and after the collision! In case 1 the bowling ball will almost remain at rest, and the golf ball will bounce back with speed close to v. In case 2 the bowling ball will keep going with speed close to v, hence the golf ball will rebound with speed close to 2v.

What is the velocity of the smaller ball after the basketball hits the ground, reverses direction and then collides with small rubber ball? • Remember that relative velocity has to be equal before and after collision! Before the collision, the basketball bounces up with v and the rubber ball is coming down with v, so their relative velocity is –2v. After the collision, it therefore has to be +2v!! Follow-up: With initial drop height h, how high does the small rubber ball bounce up?

When the ball leaves the tee, how does its speed compare to the speed of the golf club? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) equal to If the speed of approach (for the golf club and ball) is v, then the speed of recession must also be v. Since the golf club is hardly affected by the collision and it continues with speed v, then the ball must fly off with a speed of 2v.

Which fragment has the greater momentum? The initial momentum of the uranium was zero, so the final total momentum of the two fragments must also be zero. Thus the individual momenta are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

If Amy slides at 6 m/s, what speed does Gwen have? The initial momentum is zero, so the momenta of Amy and Gwen must be equal and opposite. Since p = mv, then if Amy has 3 times more mass, we see that Gwen must have 3 times more speed.

In case I, the solid wall clearly stops the car. In cases II and III, since ptot = 0 before the collision, then ptot must also be zero after the collision, which means that the car comes to a halt in all three cases.
